"3" — deletes only page 3.
"1,5,9" — deletes pages 1, 5, and 9.
"2-6" — deletes pages 2 through 6.
"1,3-5,10" — deletes page 1, pages 3 to 5, and page 10.
All remaining pages are kept in their original order in the output PDF.
Common reasons to delete PDF pages
Removing pages from a PDF is useful in many situations:
Removing blank pages — scanned documents often have extra blank pages between sections.
Removing cover pages — when forwarding a document internally, the cover page is often irrelevant.
Removing confidential pages — strip sensitive appendices before sharing with external parties.
Removing watermark pages — some PDFs have a branded first or last page that you don't need.
Trimming large reports — extract only the relevant chapters for a specific reader.
Delete pages vs split PDF — which to use?
Both tools remove pages, but in different ways:
Delete Pages — you specify which pages to REMOVE. All other pages stay in one output PDF. Best when you want most of the document but need to cut a few pages.
Split PDF — you specify which pages to KEEP. You can extract a specific range as a new PDF. Best when you want just a small section of a large document.
Does deleting pages affect PDF quality?
No. Removing pages is a lossless operation — it simply excludes the unwanted pages from the output without re-encoding or recompressing anything. Text, images, and formatting on the remaining pages are identical to the original.
